No Lies Just BS

Listen to Nick Swartz tell stories about his life. From growin' up in the small VA mountain town of Clifton Forge to his entry into and career in the tattoo industry. All the rough upbringin', punk rock, family, country, skateboardin', good eatin', blues, ass-kickin', tattooed, hard to believe but addictin' to perceive bullshit that can be packed into each episode. His brother Josh helps out and the guests are the best of the best.

On a recent trip to Richmond, Nick had a chance to catch up with two old friends and NLJBS veterans and they had a few drinks and a good ol' time. Settle in for a long one full of stories that go all over the place and listen as these friends have a blast talking about everything that has been going on these last few years and more. It's a great one, y'all.

Shop Talk closes things out with a few heaters discussed by Nick, Andrew and Porter. Boom!

Jeff Gray is a managing chef at VA Tech and the brother of Brian Gray, former Alley Cat Tattoo artist. Jeff and Nick share all kinds of stories and thoughts about food and recipes and experiences in the kitchen in general as well as all of the shenanigans that come along with working on the meals that sustain our lives. Some crazy stories come out of it.

It's been a while, but Josh finally steps out from behind the curtain once again to bullshit with his younger bro about the old stomping grounds. From drunks in the Jungle to forgetting the name of Verge Street, there's a few wild stories and a crazy new development in the world of the Swartz bros. Check it out for more repeat stories and yet another mention of that Florida episode.

Mr. Cody Klein from Inksmith & Rogers down in sunny Jacksonville, FL headed up to the hills and talked some shit with Nick for a few hours. This is some good ol' storytellin' and good times talkin' to kick off two thousand and nineteen the right way. Hell yeah!

Porter kicks it one more time in a Shop Talk duet with Nick. Andrew should be back next week. Here's a beginning to so many more great tattoos in the new year.
